The model who was photographed partying with Justin Bieber shortly before his DUI arrest in Miami, Florida last month (Jan14) has opened up about her relationship with the singer, insisting they are just friends.

Chantel Jeffries, 21, made headlines when she was photographed sitting next to the Baby hitmaker in the same Lamborghini he was pulled over in by police on 23 January (14).

She then fueled rumors of a romance with the 19 year old when she jetted off to Panama to join him for a beach-side vacation after he was released on bail.

Jeffries has now spoken out about her connection to the star in a candid interview with E! News on Tuesday (25Feb14).

When asked whether she had ever kissed Bieber, Jeffries responded, "We're friends. Do you kiss your friends?... Do you sleep in the same bed as your friends?"

Jeffries insisted could not give details about the night of Bieber's arrest due to "legal reasons," but insisted he is a "good person" and is the victim of "misconceptions".

She adds of the post-arrest Panama trip, "He was just happy to be out (of jail)... I think he just wanted to get away and have some fun, probably thinking Panama would be a place there wouldn't be so much attention."
